Oooh, good catch! Yes, MakeMaker can definitely use that to set MAKE in the
case where we're guessing that the make used will be $Config{make}.
If MAKE is passed in, we're back to square one. I think VMS is the only
serious contender at this point. Anyone have a slew of makes available to
try? gmake and bsdmake both set MAKE.
